Sharp/NEC shows the channel its technological potential in the renovated Madrid showroom

The demo room Sharp/NEC in Madrid has welcomed more than 120 channel partners, during their open days, to learn about and test the new visualization systems for vertical sectors, laser projection, collaboration solutions and the latest version of Hiperwall software.

The latest developments in visualization solutions, projection, Collaboration and management in critical environments equip the renovated showroom what Sharp/NEC has in the Madrid town of San Sebastián de los Reyes, which has received visits from more than 120 partners in their traditional open days to know in detail the manufacturer's proposal, In addition to presenting the new additions of José Luis Díaz del Río, channel account manager, and of Sergio Carrasco, solution sales engineer, to the company.

“We have been holding open days for many years., which we have divided into two days and at different times to better serve our partners and show them the wide range of solutions that we are introducing to the market, that you can know and try in this showroom that we just renovated”, explains Federico Haba, head of display solutions de Sharp/NEC en Iberia.

This demo space 95 m2 of surface area, which the company launched eight years ago (more details in Digital AV) to publicize the technological capacity of its developments, is now configured in three areas: Led display technology, projection and monitors.

The space dedicated to the monitors is in turn structured into non-touch equipment; interactive for meeting and collaboration rooms, museums, etc, and in control room systems, with Hiperwall software 8 as the core for its management.

Seamless viewing

This multipurpose technological space seeks to provide greater knowledge and training about the brand to partners and customers, For this reason, a large direct view LED video wall for interior, con pixel pitch de 1.5 mm and aspect ratio 16:9 and a totem of 2.5 mm so that attendees can see the differences and visual quality between pixel pitch.

A highlight of this video wall, belonging to the gama premium FA from the manufacturer is your perfil fine, of alone 5 cm. depth for an experience of bezel-less display, and the design of redundant modules with power supply and additional data cards in the cabinet itself, and two external controllers, to ensure continuous operations with minimal loss of brightness levels.

The rear profile of the system is even, since the Led modules can be integrated very close to the wall without requiring much space, since they emit a minimum of heat.

Projection systems

The room has a projection area, with a Fixed Optics PA Series Installation Kit y 6.500 lumens, offering a very flexible configuration, with motorized zoom, OSM automatic focus and orientation, for projecting onto large screens in multiple applications.

The ultra high definition inputs are managed with the NEC chip: The integrated video processor can simultaneously manage entrada 4K, as well as shared signal output with several connected projectors thanks to the HDBaseT interface.

The manufacturer shows other intermediate range laser equipment, model PV801UL, which allows the user to select a large variety of lenses and incorporates advanced functions to eliminate spatial distortions in projected images.

This model also has ProAssist support for easy control and adjustment, and is compatible with the previous generation of PA series mechanical lenses and lens mount, “so we offer a very competitive alternative in quality and price for companies that want migrate easily from lamp projector to laser technology”, Haba points out.

Monitor ecosystem

Adding to this visualization and projection ecosystem is the range of monitors, with the new model of the 32" M Series with anti-glare protection and use 24/7, which is added to the 55” and 65” ones in the series, that is shown with another that does not have this protection.

The monitor's input range E series, which already has models in 75” and 86”, is designed for a use 18/7, compared to the most frequent of 16/7, and more features for retail and corporate applications.

For the collaborative environment, The room has a 55” screen Windows Collaboration Display, the collaboration system Infinity Board and the new double screen room equipment Du-Co Room System LCD de 55”, offering a solution for hybrid meetings, with resolution 3,840×2.160p and operational 24/7.

This system combines two 55” screens, a NEC MultiSync M551 interactive IGB, with touch screen InGlass, and one non touch Multisync M551 igb identical design, in a complete and easy-to-use system in meeting and collaboration environments, whether for fully in-person or hybrid team meetings.

Added to this is a monitor with projected capacitive touch screen (PCAP) and tablet-type finish for application in retail and museum environments, with more than ten simultaneous touches.

Hiperwall 8.0

Another of the novelties shown in this showroom to improve operations in control rooms and critical environments is the version 8.0 of the Hiperwall software, that improves content integrity and sharing, with high system performance, allowing operation and playback on any screen, of the LCD o Led.

“Hiperwall 8.0 offers a more complete and advanced synchronization for the controllers - underlines Federico Haba -, allowing them to configure, operate and control any display or video wall system from a single console as if it were a single desktop. For example, “We can manage all the screens we have in this room”.

Specifically, the version 8.0 incorporates the function HiperZones for managing multiple access control zones in a video wall, allowing administrators to have the integrity of the content displayed, reducing the possibility of unwanted interference.
